Kinetic energy is the energy that is possessed by an object that is moving. It is calculated by one-half the product of the mass and the square of the velocity of the object. We calculate as follows:<span>

For the truck,
KE = mv^2 / 2
KE = 20000 kg (110 km/h (1 h/3600 s)(1000 m / 1 km))^2 / 2
KE = 611111.11 J

For the astronaut,
KE = 80.0 kg (27500 km/h</span>(1 h/3600 s)(1000 m / 1 km)<span>)^2/2
KE = 611111.11 J

The kinetic energy possessed by the two bodies are the same.

What’s the velocity of a sound wave traveling through air at a temperature of 18°C (64.4°F)?
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

342 m/s

Explanation:

The velocity of sound in air is approximated as:

v ≈ 331.4 + 0.6 T

where v is the velocity in m/s and T is the temperature in Celsius.

At T = 18:

v ≈ 331.4 + 0.6 (18)

v ≈ 342.2

The velocity is approximately 342 m/s.

PLEASE ANSWER ASAP BEFORE MY TEACHER AND MY MOM KILLES ME PLEASE ASAP
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

As you know, the denser objects have more weight per unit of volume, this will mean that the force that pulls down these objects is a bit larger.

This will mean that the denser objects will always go to the bottom.

This clearly implies that the red liquid, the one with one of the smaller densities, can not be at the bottom.

There are some cases where a liquid with a small density may become a lot denser as the temperature or pressure changes, and in a case like that, we could see the red liquid at the bottom, but for this case, there is no mention of changes in the temperature nor in the pressure, so this can be discarded.

The only thing that makes sense is that the red part at the bottom is the base of the tube, and has nothing to do with the red liquid.

The Heaviside function H is defined by H(t)={0 if t&lt;0, 1 if t≥0 It is used in the study of electric circuits to represent the
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

V(t)= 240V* H(t-5)

Explanation:

The heaviside function is defined as:

H(t) =1 \quad t\geq 0\\H(t) =0 \quad t

so we see that the Heaviside function "switches on" whent=0, and remains switched on when t>0

If we want our heaviside function to switch on when t=5, we need the argument to the heaviside function to be 0 when t=5

Thus we define a function f:

f(t) = H(t-5)

The -5 term inside the heaviside function makes sure to displace the function 5 units to the right.

Now we just need to add a scale up factor of 240 V, because thats the voltage applied after the heaviside function switches on. (H(t-5) =1 when t\geq 5, so it becomes just a 1, which we can safely ignore.)

Therefore our final result is:

V(t)= 240V* H(t-5)

I have made a sketch for you, and added it as attachment.
